Bring It On: All or Nothing (2006)
Mediocre at best... but has its moments
Acting: Unconvincing - I'm not sure if it's just the shoddy dialogue they had to work with (more on that later) but the characters (especially in the first half) seemed very artificial. Expected better from a Hayden Panneterie film (she did work with some big name actors in previous films).
Dialogue: Lacks a certain subtlety and intelligence which was present (to an extent) in the first film. At some points it was almost embarrassing (e.g. when Hayden Pannetierre calls someone a "white girl"). Plus they recycled jokes from the first film (e.g. "spirit finger THIS; middle finger").
Script: Ridiculous to see Winnie doing a dirty dance for Britney's boyfriend in front of the entire cheer squad.. and Amber says they "tell each other everything".... she didn't tell Britney about this until much later.
Cinematography: Nothing really to write about here... although some good cinematography WOULD have bumped this film up to a "6" :).
Social commentary: As previous posters have pointed out, this film explores both sides of racial tension (sort of). However, many films before this have done the same, and it is not really any revelation that there are stereotypes in all directions.
Positives: That other male cheerleader (Jesse's friend) who got so excited over seeing Rhianna. Quite hilarious, and easily the best part of the film :).
